Overview

This 2-day seminar/retreat will focus on finding ways of maintaining the integrity and enjoyment of our work in spite of the challenges we are now facing. It will also address the crucial issue of therapist self-care and its central role in the quality of services we provide. Maximum 8 participants.

Learning Objectives and Content:

Participants will be
encouraged to take stock and reflect on
issues such as:

•
What brought them to the helping
profession

•
The state of their
personal/professional growth

•
Their unique physical, cognitive,
emotional and spiritual needs.

Participants will also have the opportunity
to design a self-care practise and take
practical steps towards the most essential
and pressing changes they might have
identified.

This will be done through discussions, the
use of imagery whether as expressed in
metaphors, visualizations or a variety of
expressive therapies (art, sand play,
writing, sewing, storytelling etc.)

This seminar is meant to be the first in an
ongoing series of weekend learning /healing
retreats for those who chose to continue
this process.
